Awakening The Wisdom Of The Psoas

The Psoas, a bio-intelligent tissue often referred to as the 'muscle of the soul', is the deepest muscle of the human body. Its resilience affects structural balance, flexibility, strength, range of motion, joint mobility, and organ functioning. The stress of our fast-paced modern lifestyle can chronically trigger and tighten the Psoas – making it literally ready to fight, flee or freeze. This can lead to a host of painful conditions including low back pain, sacroiliac pain, sciatica, disc problems, scoliosis, hip degeneration, knee pain, menstruation pain, infertility, immune system and adrenal gland depletion and digestive complications.

Influenced by her own journey of debilitating dis-ease, Aviva created this workshop to share her fascination and study of the Psoas. It is designed to awaken our awareness of this wise area while releasing holding patterns within. This is a deep Forrest Yoga inspired yoga practice followed by TRE (tension, stress and trauma release). All levels welcome.

Aviva's teaching is an exploration of the body’s ability to heal and transform. She will guide you towards connecting with your body through a practice that is intense-yet-playful. With compassion, curiosity and humor; she offers classes to help you move from struggle and limitation, towards freedom and possibility.
Finding comfort in movement, Aviva studied dance and then went on to play competitive Ultimate Frisbee. After a lifetime of physical activity, multiple injuries led her to Forrest Yoga and she became certified in 2011.
Her classes are an offering of the incredible benefits of simple techniques to heal; chronic pain, physical and emotional trauma, and injuries. Always seeking more for both her personal practice and her teaching, Aviva complimented her Forrest Yoga training with the Niroga Yoga for Youth, and Pre/Postnatal trainings. She is a Certified Level II TRE Provider (Tension and Trauma Release Exercises) and Craniosacral Worker.
Aviva lives in the Bay Area, and joyfully shares her ever-growing bag of tricks through private and group instruction. She is the Co-Creator and Creative Director of Breathing Room Alameda and Founder of Breathe In Love Retreats.
